All the Shapeshifter lords who agreed to work for the 13th Bureau had the unique, pungent scent of Shapeshifters removed by William.
After all, this irritating sll emitted by Shapeshifters was like a plague to ordinary people, and prolonged exposure would certainly cause problems.
William also suppressed the terrifying energy pressure emanating from them to prevent harm to innocent bystanders.
For this reason, the person from the Erald Lion Guild couldn't recognize how powerful this Shapeshifter lord in front of them was.
This Shapeshifter lord, nad Thornclaw, in his true form resembled a saber-toothed tiger with long fur, a human face, tiger feet, boar-like tusks, and a long tail.
His strength was imnse, and even during the era of gods, he was considered a powerful beast.
After signing the contract, he unlocked all his potential and beca a Shapeshifter lord.
His strength was comparable to that of an Elental Deity, and as William said, he was capable of killing a Demi-God level Soulmancer in an instant.
When the ssenger from the Erald Lion Guild challenged him to use his strongest move, Thornclaw, not wanting to be underestimated, exerted all his strength to absorb and mobilize all the energy around him.
In that instant, the sky turned grey, filled with intertwining lightning and violent winds.
He had locked onto the Erald Lion Guild's ssenger.
Before he could even throw a punch, the ssenger started bleeding from his mouth and nose and died on the spot, falling from mid-air, his soul dissipating.
Thornclaw was shocked, quickly retracting his raging aura. He rushed to the body, lifted it by the foot, and was visibly distressed.
He had killed soone!
"…Steven, you have to vouch for ! I didn't hit him," Thornclaw panicked, completely bewildered.
It turned out this person wasn't as powerful as he had seed.
Why pretend to be strong when you're not? It was like asking for trouble.
"Right! Steven, you have to explain to Mr. Johnson, this is definitely a case of staging an accident," Thornclaw implored.
Thornclaw was understandably panicked.
After all, murder could lead to life imprisonnt or even the death penalty!
Steven was both amused and bewildered – who would risk their life just to stage an accident?
To him, this seed more like foolishness.
"Don't worry, I'll speak to Mr. Johnson about it," Steven reassured, though he wasn't sure what to make of the situation.
Did the people from the Erald Lion Guild have a death wish?
First, they offended William, and now they were provoking these Shapeshifter lords.
Did they think they were invincible or sothing?
With no other choice, Steven called William: "Mr. Johnson, the Erald Lion Guild has requested that you and Dr. Lopez et them at their Guild. I'll take a photo of their letter and send it to you."
William read the letter's contents, which he found to be outrageously arrogant.
They were demanding that he castrate himself and then commit suicide?
Absurd.
"I'm at the Soulmancer School. Co here, Steven. There's no need to bring Dr. Lopez. I'll accompany you to the Erald Lion Guild," William replied calmly.
Why did Steven release the news about Alice's soul reaching Divine Realm and her ascension to godhood?
It was to test William's newly crafted fan, whose power remained uncertain.
So it's not good to just randomly find soone to test it.
What if soone is accidentally killed by mistake?
Since that's the case, why not see who has hostility towards him.
Using enemies to test the power of this magical artifact seems like a good idea.
The Erald Lion Guild, huh?
That's a nice choice!
Of course, William wouldn't destroy the Erald Lion Guild just because of a sealed letter, but the power of the fan would definitely be tested within their Erald Lion Guild.
Garen, the legendary warrior, right?
Using the fan to create a breeze, he probably won't die, right?
William waited for Steven, who surprisingly arrived driving a car, dragging a corpse along with him.
"What's going on?" William raised an eyebrow, puzzled by the presence of a body.
Steven replied with a wry smile, "It's soone from the Erald Lion Guild. He asked Thornclaw to attack him with his strongest move, and... well, he died."
"Oh," was all William said, nodding his head.
For those who actively seek a fight, who can be blad for the consequences?
William was willing to abide by the law and hoped that both the Shapeshifter lords and future powerful beings would do the sa.
But as per the 13th Bureau's regulations, battles between Soulmancers that didn't harm innocents were generally not interfered with.
And if a Soulmancer actively sought death, there was even less need for intervention.
"Let's go, then," William said, getting into Steven's car and heading straight for the Erald Lion Guild's gate.
The 13th Bureau, with its special talents and cutting-edge technology, was also adept in construction.
Apart from building the Soulmancer School, they had connected roads to the gates of various Guilds and established network signal stations in many places.
Therefore, Steven was able to drive directly to the front gate of the Erald Lion Guild.
The mbers of the Erald Lion Guild, already aware of Alice's ascension to Divine Realm, paid little attention to William and Steven as they got out of the car.
"Hello, could you please contact your Guild leader? I've brought William here," Steven said, cautious not to reveal William's identity.
A mber of the Guild glanced at William and scoffed, "William, eh? Where's Alice?"
William remained silent with a smile.
He was tempted to use his fan to send the young man flying but restrained himself, considering the man's low strength.
An accidental excessive blow could turn his bones to dust, which would be problematic.
It would be better to find Garen instead.
"What are you smiling about? Weren't you quite arrogant before? How about we have a match first? I'll limit my strength to the level of a novice Soulmancer, so you can't say I'm bullying you," the gatekeeper of the Erald Lion Guild said to William, his smile laced with ill intentions.
Steven didn't even know how to describe his feelings at that mont.
The people of their Erald Lion Guild are really one more arrogant than the next!
First, there was the one who provoked the Shapeshifter lord, and now this one is even more outrageous, challenging William.
And even limiting their strength level to that of a novice Soulmancer?
This is no longer a matter of having a problem with their brains,it's completely about the Erald Lion Guild taking their self-destructive spirit to the extre.
Young man, isn't living a good thing?
"Steven, you're not planning to stand up for him, are you?" the Guild mber glanced at Steven, who was just a junior Soulmancer. If Steven decided to intervene on William's behalf, he obviously wouldn't be able to thrash William.
Steven chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Since you've claid to reduce your strength to that of a novice Soulmancer, how could I interfere? Please proceed, I'll just stand by."
The mber of the Erald Lion Guild mistook this as Steven recognizing the situation and being intimidated by their Guild.
He stared at William and asked, "Do you need to use a weapon?"
Glancing at the broadsword on the man's back, William replied with a smile, "Sure, lend your broadsword for a mont!"
"Lend you my broadsword? What kind of nonsense are you talking?"
As soon as the Guild mber finished speaking, the sword on his back flew out, turning into a streak of light that landed in William's hand.
"Huh?"
He was completely dumbfounded. How did his sword end up in William's hand?
Though he was just a junior Soulmancer and his sword hadn't developed a spirit, how did William just commandeer it with a re word?
In the next mont, the broadsword in William's hand was already resting against the Guild gatekeeper's neck.
"…"
Even Steven, standing nearby, couldn't grasp how William had managed to do that. It seed as if the broadsword had appeared in William's hand and was instantly placed at the other's throat.
